Abstract: A programmable timer is used to meter ATM cells from input buffers to an output buffer in a cell multiplexer of an integrated access device. The timer is programmed according to the egress rate from the cell multiplexer, which is determined by the physical network interface. The programmable timer generates a cell read period that enables an arbiter to read a cell from an input buffer to the output buffer. The cell read period is sufficiently long to avoid overfilling the output buffer or bursting to the network interface. In a particular embodiment a high-priority input and a lower-priority input and the arbiter always checks and reads from the high-priority input before reading from the lower-priority input. In a further embodiment, the high-priority input has an ingress rate that is less than the egress rate.

Abstract: Micellular particles such as small unilamellar vesicles of less than 2000 A° loaded with 111In are administered to BALB/c mice in which EMT6 tumors had been induced. Whole body scintographs of the mice to which either neutral or positively or negatively charged vesicles had been administered show a substantial quantity of the vesicle entrapped 111In localized in the tumor. Blocking of macrophages in the liver and spleen by first administering unlabeled, aminomannose substituted vesicles before administration of the labeled vesicles increases uptake of the 111In labeled vesicles in the tumor.

Abstract: A system and method determines internal radioactivity and absorbed dose estimates of a patient more accurately and with greater ease. Internal radioactivity is determined by the CAMI (CT scan Assisted Matrix Inversion) system and method which uses uptake information from the gamma camera images and anatomic data from CT (Computerized Tomography) scans. Absorbed dose estimates are obtained by the MAVSK (Monte Carlo Assisted Voxel Source Kernel) system and method which uses a MCNP (Monte Carlo program for electron and photon transport) to simulate a voxel source kernel for .sup.90 Y analogous to a point source function.

Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing system having isolated islands of "clean room" environment connected by inter-process transfer containers for transfering in-process workpieces. The system has airlock transfer ports between the process enclosures and the inter-process transfer containers. The make and break airlock transfer ports have facing sealable doors in the process enclosure and the transfer container. These doors are in air sealable facing recesses of the process enclosure and the transfer container. At least one peripheral gasket surrounds the recesses and the pair of doors. This provides a substantially clean room environment in the airlock. The sealable door in the interprocess transfer container is fabricated of a ferromagnetic material and is seated on a ferromagnetic gasket, while the sealable door in the process enclosure has a controllable electromagnetic clamp.

Abstract: A method is provided for delivering micellular particles containing chemotherapeutic agents and a marker to tumors within a body for the diagnosis and treatment of such tumors. The micellular particles are small, less than 2000 .ANG. and incorporate pure, neutral phospholipid molecules in their external surface. Enhanced delivery of the micellular particles containing marker and chemotherapeutic agents may be achieved by introducing an initial group of positively charged micellular particles to block the reticuloendothelial cells present in the body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for handling large area, in-process, circuit panel layers. The circuit panel layers are thin and flimsy, and require rigid support for certain processing steps. The system includes a peripheral frame fixture for surrounding and supporting the in process circuit panel layer, and a a loading chuck for mounting the in-process circuit panel layer in the peripheral frame fixture. The peripheral frame fixture includes a bottom plate having a central opening to expose the circuit panel layer, a top frame having a corresponding central opening to expose the opposite surface of the circuit panel layer, and a compressive apparatus, as screws, bolts, or the like, for applying a z axis compressive force to the bottom plate, the top frame, and a panel layer therebetween. Optionally, the fixture may include alignment pins or fiducials for aligning the bottom plate, a panel layer, and the top frame, and a robotic interface for a robotic arm to grasp and transfer the peripheral frame fixture.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a printed circuit panel. The method is carried out without a cleanroom, but in a clean room environment. The first step is to place a thin, non-rigid panel in a suitable fixture, for example, for transfer and also for processing. The fixtured panel is then placed in an air tight transfer container, which has a substantially contaminant free atmosphere. The transfer container has a sealed door at one end. The transfer container is then brought into a seaiable, substantially airtight interlock with a process enclosure. This process enclosure also has a substantially contaminant free atmosphere, and a sealed door at one end. An airtight seal is formed between the transfer container and the process enclosure, and also between the surfaces of the two doors. This is to avoid introducing surface contaminants into the process enclosure and transfer container atmospheres. Next, the two doors are opened simultaneously.

Abstract: Disclosed is a transfer container for carrying circuit panels in and between substantially contaminant free environments. The walls of the transfer container are fabricated out of substantially particulate free, unfilled polymers, such as polycarbonate. One of the end walls is an access wall. The access wall has an opening surrounded by a ferromagnetic gasket. This gasketed opening is adapted to receive a ferromagnetic door panel. The side walls, and the top and bottom walls may extend beyond the access wall, with the ends of said walls defining a plane, so that the access wall is recessed with respect to the plane defined by the said extensions. Each of the side walls have co-planar bracket pairs for holding circuit panels. Either one of, or preferably both brackets of a bracket pair have pyramidal or conical positioning pins. These pins extend upwardly from the brackets and are adapted to receive and hold a workpiece in place.

Abstract: Described herein is a process for labeling leukocytes and other phagocytic cells with labeled micellular particles involving incubating the cells with the micellular particles. Also described is a process for detecting the locus of an infection by administering to a subject leukocytes radiolabeled by incubation with labeled micellular particles followed by scanning the subject to detect the locus of radiation emitted by the particles.
